A
Winter sports are constantly evolving and new sports activities are regularly being created. This makes sure your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience.
Snow biking
The snowbike — a cross between a bicycle and skis — guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six. Snowbikes can be used on well-cared-for slopes (斜坡) and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis. And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience.
Freeriding
There is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature. Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when freeriding. Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape. The snowshoes distribute the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow. Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience: Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go!
Snowtubing
Snowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding down a snowtubing slope in a rubber tire. Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift. This gives the tuber the opportunity to immediately go back up the mountain after the ride. The activity is the perfect and fun end to a day of skiing.

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据Freeriding部分中的“Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when freeriding. Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions. (由于斜坡的真正不受影响的特性，野地单板滑雪时，雪和天气条件必须考虑到。因此，有一个专业的导游陪同是非常重要的，他对滑雪区域了如指掌，并且能够正确地评估天气状况)”可推知，野地单板滑雪（Freeriding）对滑雪者来说是最苛刻的。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Snow biking部分中的“And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience. (而且它可以在骑手没有以往经验的情况下骑)”和Snowshoeing部分中的“Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience: Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go!(应对雪鞋健行很简单，不需要任何经验：只需系紧你的雪鞋，拿起你的棍子，你就可以走了!)”可知，雪地自行车和雪鞋健行有共同之处是它们不需要滑雪经验。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Snowtubing部分中的“Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift. This gives the tuber the opportunity to immediately go back up the mountain after the ride. (雪滑梯的雪道通常位于滑雪缆车附近。这使滑雪者有机会在滑行后立即回到山上)”可知，雪滑梯的雪道通常靠近滑雪缆车，以帮助滑雪者轻松到达起点。故选D。
